The students' meeting with our graduate, stakeholder-practitioner Oleksandr Yushchenko turned out to be interesting, useful and informative. At the lecture session, as part of the study of the "Management" discipline, the issues of the peculiarities of opening and running a business in modern conditions, the effectiveness of team management, the development of a person as an individual, a manager and a leader were discussed.
Spending a semester at the University of Ecology and Management in Warsaw was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The Erasmus+ program opened a world of opportunities for me, both academically and personally.
Studying in a new environment was challenging but incredibly rewarding. The lectures were engaging, and I learned so much about business that I know will be helpful for my future career. Meeting professors and students from different backgrounds broadened my perspective and helped me see business from new angles.
